So, guys; what do you wish to see done with gym leaders and members of Elite Four in Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire? Want some of them to be replaced? Hoping to see them get new sets of clothing? What kind of Pokémon would you expect them to have on their teams? Also, what TMs would you like them to give when you defeat gym leaders?
Hmm...I'm so used to their original clothing that replacing the clothing of any Gym Leader/Elite Four member could just be unthinkable! I mean, you have Roxanne's lovely schoolgirl outfit to Drake's astounding cape to Steven's classy outfit to Winona's boot things to Juan's dazzling coat to Flannery's sizzling midriff-baring shirt and rocking denim jeans! XD And the Gym Leaders were recently in
Pokemon Black 2/White 2's Pokemon World Tournament, so their clothes have been visible a bit more recently...
Pokemon teams should preferably be based on the
Emerald updates and derive from Pokemon World Tournament usage. Wattson should use Manectric (I mean, seriously, he doesn't have to walk
that far to get one, and it's fitting, being a Hoenn-native Pokemon and all!) while still retaining a Magneton. I hope that post-Generation 3 evolutions (standard ones and Mega Evolutions) get used during rematches, like Phoebe employing a Dusknoir as her signature Pokemon at some point and Sidney using a Mega Absol to trounce foes.
Since Mossdeep City Gym has two layouts, maybe
OmegaRuby could have the
Ruby/Sapphire variant and
AlphaSapphire could have the other (or vice versa)?
TMs given should either remain the same as from Generation 3 if possible, or at the least be of the same type as well as be useful.
I believe all Gym Leaders except for Wallace should remain the same. Juan should be the Gym Leader of Sootopolis Gym while Wallace is available for a match at the Abandoned Ship as a powerful roaming Trainer. It would be nice to see cameos by all of those NPCs that mention Hoenn characters (like Bruno cameoing near Dewford Town, since he's been stated to have trained with Brawly, Dewford Town's Gym Leader). And of course, Steven Stone should be the rightful Hoenn Region Pokemon Champion!
As for rematches, either they could be scheduled (better) within a Hoenn Gym Leader's resident Gym, or we could have some assembly-like Fighting Dojo facility (maybe a Battle Tent?) where all the Hoenn Gym Leaders can be challenged.
As for the Elite Four... I hope they're tied into the story a bit more because they were nowhere to be seen in the entire game before the League came and that was a bit disappointing. They weren't even in the post-game at all.
More Hoenn Elite Four interaction would be nice, aside from phone calls.
If Frontier Brains can be counted here; I'm hoping that they generally remain the same. However, I hope that they receive new Trainer's Eyes/Match Call entries when you meet them, so you can call them and stuff. I'm hoping that the owner of Trainer Hill becomes a Hoenn Pokemon League member and is fleshed out a bit more.
I hope that Frontier Brains can appear in Single
and Double Battle modes (if applicable), and I hope that they appear even after repeated challenges (for example, even if you already got one facility's Silver Symbol after 35 wins, every time you have to restart your challenge, you continue to face that Frontier Brain as the 35th Trainer, for them to continue testing you).
